The IT Crowd

People, what a bunch of bastards.

Hey, remember back in the mid-2000s when an American remake of a much beloved British sitcom was brought to television and, despite having a hard time originally finding its footing, eventually stopped trying to be the exact same show as its predecessor and achieved great success? What was that called again? Oh, wait—that was The Office. The American The IT Crowd was left to rot like the awkward and tonally deaf pilot that it was.

The Internet isn't just coming -- it's here now!

If you're a decent, moral Internet user who, unlike the rest of us, doesn't use a proxy service to watch out-of-country videos and never ever pirates stuff that's unavailable in North America, then your patience has paid off! Now you can watch the final episode of The IT Crowd in a totally legal way.

Fair warning, Britishness and hilarity abounds.

At the end of each year, the incredibly hilarious Jimmy Carr hosts The Big Fat Quiz show on the UK's Channel 4, sending up all the awful/amazing bits of pop culture to which we dedicated ourselves for the past twelve months. This year, panelists include Kristen Schaal and (my personal faves) The IT Crowd's Noel Fielding and Richard Ayoade.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night? No? Then watch it here!

It's no secret that The IT Crowd is The Best Sitcom of All Time (probably). Sadly this incredible show had to come to an end, and the very-special finale episode aired last night on Channel 4. But North American fans, don't dial 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3! We traversed the internet and found a version you can watch right now!

Look more normal! More normal! RELAX!

Your favorite gang of misanthropic office workers are finally back for one last episode of The IT Crowd! The script was written over a year ago, butRichard Ayoade, Chris O'Dowd, and Katerine Parkinson together were only able to get together and film it about four months ago. Why just a one-episode finale? Because British TV is weird.

The world would fall into chaos if the Internet were in the wrong hands, so you'd better buy it and keep it safe.

Sometimes you come across something online you never even knew you wanted -- like The Internet itself. This replica of "The Internet" as seen in The IT Crowd is now available on Etsy. Sure, it may just be a plastic box with a light on it, but for fans of the show it could make a great addition to your desk.

If you'd have told me ten years ago that Russell Crowe would be one of the most delightfully nutty Twitter-ers out there I'd have thought you were insane. And that's even after you explained to 2003 me what Twitter is. (Tumblr)

OK, so it would be cooler if Richard Ayoade were the one saying he wants to play the Doctor instead of Facebook’s Maurice Moss doppelgänger, but I don’t even care. I’m having too much fun imagining Moss as Twelve. “I came here to drink milk and save the Earth. And I’ve just finished my milk.” […]

We've heard talk for a while now about The IT Crowd returning for one final episode, but production keeps being pushed back. In a recent Q&A, creator Graham Lineham said the episode will begin filming in three weeks. Sounds like it's time to fire up your Netflix account and get caught up on all four series.
